I've purchased this coral from my LFS where I was told it was an Acan, but i'm not so sure. My existing Acan as you can see from attached picture is soft (only Acan I've ever owned). In contrast, I've noticed (especially so during coral dip) the new coral was hard, from my understanding all Acans should be soft. The red Acan moves ever so slightly from aquarium's flow where the other coral is firm.

What coral is the attached picture 'suspected Acan.jpg' ?

It looks like an acan to me. Maybe just need to adjust and fluff up a bit
